iDRAC 8/7 v2.40.40.40 User’s Guide

Creating an iDRAC configuration file

The configuration file can be:
  • Created.
  • Obtained using racadm get -f <file_name>.xml -t xml command.
  • Obtained using racadm get -f <file_name>.xml -t xml and then edited.

    For information about the get command, see the iDRAC RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.

The configuration file is first parsed to verify that valid group and object names are present and the basic syntax rules are followed. Errors are flagged with the line number where the error was detected, and a message explains the problem. The entire file is parsed for correctness and all errors are displayed. Write commands are not transmitted to iDRAC if an error is found in the file. You must correct all errors before using the file to configure iDRAC.

CAUTION: Use the racresetcfg command to reset the database and the iDRAC NIC settings to the default settings and remove all users and user configurations. While the root user is available, other user settings are also reset to the default settings.
